In the Shadow of Illness: Parents & Siblings of the Chronically Ill Child
(Chronic Illness)
Bluebond Langner, M., Princeton University Press, 1996
ISBN 0-691027-83-8
What is it like to live with a child who has a chronic, life-threatening disease? What impact does the illness have on well siblings in the family? Here Myra Bluebond-Langner illuminates the lives of those who live in the shadow of chronic illness: parents and well siblings of children who have cystic fibrosis. Both illuminating and educational, this book is essential reading for all who study, care for, or live with the seriously ill.
“I really enjoyed this book. As a parent of a child with Cystic Fibrosis I found this book to be useful. It allowed me to see into the lives of other families living with CF, to see the different stages that parents and those affected with CF go through during the course of the disease.”
